    Upgrade or device failures can prevent other File Accesser devices in the same File Server Pool from upgrading. Taking down those devices for upgrade would adversely affect the accessibility of some or all of the file systems that they provide access to. If an error message is displayed in the Event Console, contact IBM Customer Support.
